Here are some traditional swedish christmas songs. We often sing these around 13 of december when we celebrate Sancta Lucia!

The baker In our town there is a baker, he bakes cookies all day long, some are big and some are small and some has sugar on top.And through his window you can see gingerbread men and candy canes hanging. And if you are kind you can have one too but if you are naughty you have to go.

The christmas miceWhen the nights get longer and colder, mother mouse takes her children and says to them. Watch out for the mousetrap and then we can all celebrate christmas together!Falleralla fallerallera when christmas comes let everyone be happy!Falleralla fallerallera when christmas comes let everyone be happy!

Sancta LuciaSancta Lucia the girl in white dress, comes to us all, let us be still. Shine like candles at home and in every house. Santca Lucia, Sancta Lucia.Outside is cold and dark, the lit candles shine in every house. I can se someone coming I think I know who it is Sancta Lucia, Sancta Lucia.
